I was really looking forward to meeting some more forum members, but at least there are still a couple of local shows before the end of the year. Perhaps I'll have to invest in a 'T' shirt and a sweatshirt so then I can be spotted rather than waiting to find members the hard way. Not sure that would be a good idea though.......... it might send other members into hiding. I did have a bit of a lust for the American six wheeler behind the catering tent. (The one with the yellow bonnet front) Was that an R.E.O. 'Kin gorgeous bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I take it you mean my M54? Glad you liked it, makes it worth while taking it to shows when you hear good feedback. (photo taken at W&P not Ardingly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swill1952xs Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I take it you mean my M54? Glad you liked it, makes it worth while taking it to shows when you hear good feedback. (photo taken at W&P not Ardingly) Like it????????????? That is sex on wheels........ and coming from me, it's got to be really special to be that exciting. I'm not an American truck fan. I love the styling of it, the exhaust by the cab, the fact that it looks like it could take anything you could throw at it (Terrain wise), the mean look it has with a gun mounted on top of it, the perfect paintwork, the fact that it looks almost new, and I love six wheelers. If my Albion ever looks half as good as that one day; I'll be delighted. Now I've run out of compliments, but if it was a woman........ I wouldn't be happy till I'd slept with it......... :cool2: :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotBed Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 after all that will, stuarts head wont fit through his gun ring :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's the best compliment I've ever had, thank you, all restored by myself in my drive. My first ever project so comments like that mean a lot. You can sleep in it but not with it I'm sure your Albion will look great, sounds like you have high standards. If my M54 is sex on wheels what is it when its dragging around my 5 ton of scrap shown below ??? (apart from slow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisg Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Seen the truck several time and have to agree with you Will it's sex on wheels may be its because we're at that funny age :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Very nice M54 Maverick . what are the additional row of lower fastners for I see along the lower sill of the cargo body ? What engine do you have in it , multi fuel , gas or turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi ABN, They are tie down points for the cargo bed, very crude but affective. All the M35s I have seen with them have been done in the factory but all the 5 ton stuff seams to have been done at motorpool level with a gas torch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
